2015 CUE Rock Star Saugatuck

In this session, participants will be challenged to take assignments and activities they may have used in the past, and apply this maker mindset into the design. Tinkering, thinking, and quick feedback will be the major driving forces. Participants should leave this session inspired and ready to implement a maker culture in their classroom.

The focus of this session will be designing projects that embrace Mitch Resnick's "Learning Spiral", beginning with imagining, creating, playing, sharing, and reflecting. Tinkering, thinking, and quick feedback will be the major driving forces. Participants should leave this session inspired to implement a maker culture in their classroom.

The process of learning is crucial in Common Core, with critique and independence being two important facets in this. The "Learning Spiral" embraces these ideas and puts students on the road to learning by doing.
